    Not my experience. I think you are either just parroting what you read online, live in the countryside, or have not been to Japan for 10+ years. I live in Tokyo and none of what yo…

    I successfully quit Twitter. I used to be on it ~2 hours a day, now I haven't opened in for almost a year. Unfortunately that habit has been replaced by others and I still have FOM…

    I don't understand where the bank analogies always come from. Crypto is not a bank. Holding crypto is like holding cash. If you put it under your bed and it's stolen, do you go to …

    That's only true in good economic times and non-war periods and places. What you're saying is true in America right now, but not in many other countries [0], and it's also not true…

    I guess most reasonable answer is that you should include anything that would transfer a significant amount of money to the IRS. Starbucks points and FFXIV gold may be theoreticall…

    I think the op may be asking the more general question of why it is defined like this. What makes a "digital representations of value that are recorded on a cryptographically secur…

    That argument doesn't make much sense. You don't control your bank balance, which are just IOUs, either. It's just an entry in some centralized company's database.

    I use Hugo [0] and host on Netlify, but anywhere works. Couldn't be happier. I used Wordpress and Jekyll previously, but Hugo has been a good upgrade. The problem with Wordpress is…

    Interesting, I didn't realize this is the case. Unfortunately it looks like there won't ever be MacOS support, which makes this unusable for me. I think my point about broader appl…

    I agree with you that the Nix language is a problem, and most likely a mistake in hindsight. Even for someone with lots of functional programming experience it's ugly with bad usab…

    I generally agree with you, but it depends on how obvious the semantics of the code are. In your example, noNameDateFiltered is most likely superfluous. If the filter function is s…

    A few things that are nice about it once you've "nixified" your project - Locally reproducible CI builds and tests - Sharable developer environments/shells - Extremely fast and eff…

    I'm pretty shocked by this. That someone who was involved in the fraud just as much as SBF can away with this simply by cooperating is appalling. What's the point of villainizing a…

    Yes, just like the FTX website is on the internet. So, do you blame the HTTP protocol for every online scam? Anyone can put scam token on Ethereum, just like anyone can publish a w…

    What you want is full transparency and incentive alignment. A government, or rather the people running the government, fundamentally don't benefit from these things because they us…

    The problem is the nondisclosure. When you're selling something (do this program to get a body like mine) and don't disclose that you got there by taking steroids, that's a scam. T…

    Ask HN: Why can't I enjoy playing videogames on my own?

    These days, the only thing that makes we want to play games is the community aspect. That's obvious for online games or MMOs, but even for single-player games, most of the fun and …
